As Anna delves deeper into the case, she becomes obsessed with capturing the elusive criminal, but a traumatic encounter with the killer leaves her shaken and confused.

Eventually, Anna becomes a victim of the killer's own obsession, but in a shocking twist, she overcomes her trauma and transforms into a formidable force of justice. The Stendhal Syndrome is a thrilling and visually stunning film that explores the fragile line between sanity and madness, and the depths that people will go to in order to survive.
